AI summary

A remaining capacity estimation apparatus includes a storage processing unit and a calculation unit. The storage processing unit acquires a model from a model generation apparatus and stores the model in a model storage unit. When data for updating the model are acquired from the model generation apparatus, the storage processing unit updates the model stored in the model storage unit. The calculation unit calculates a remaining capacity of a storage battery managed by the remaining capacity estimation apparatus by using the model stored in the model storage unit. At this time, data (measurement data for calculation) input to the model include a current, a voltage, and a temperature of the storage battery. When the input data when generating the model are only a current, a voltage, and a temperature, the measurement data for calculation are only a current, a voltage, and a temperature.
